Ep 342: 10 Years of The Sisters Enchanted: The Witch Wound That Cost Me the Most

Ten years, two businesses, and a thousand moments where I smiled when I should have held the line.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a decade of running the Sisters Enchanted and the witch wound that slowly cost me more time, energy, and money than anything else in my business.We're talking about confrontation avoidance, space-filling, and peacekeeping at the expense of your own power. And why - if you're a woman who over-explains, over-smiles, and bends yourself into a pretzel so nobody feels bad - this might be your witch wound too.What Is the Witch Wound?The witch wound is the ancestral and personal pattern of fear that keeps women small. The fear of being seen, fear of speaking up, and fear of confrontation. It shows up in the body, in relationships, and in how we trust ourselves. And...it has very real costs.In this episode, I share:-How Sisters Enchanted started (the messy, non-linear origin story)-The two specific witch wounds I've been healing for 10 years-Why confrontation avoidance is one of the most expensive patterns a woman can carry-The "filling space" habit that keeps you managing everyone else's emotions instead of your own-How choice and agency can dissolve resentment and change your trajectoryIs This Your Witch Wound?➡️ Do you over-explain yourself after setting a boundary?➡️ Do you smile and laugh things off when you're actually frustrated?➡️ Do you fill silence with validation and softening even when you were clear?➡️ Do you avoid conflict to keep the peace, and then silently pay for it?If yes...this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:✨ Starting before you're ready opens doors that perfectionism keeps closed✨ Confrontation avoidance has real financial and energetic costs✨ You don't have to fill every silence ✨ Everybody has choice and agency - their reaction is not your responsibility to manage✨ The witch wound shows up quietly in the smile, the over-explanation, and the joke you make when you want to hold the groundWant to go deeper on the witch wound?📩 Join our newsletter for seasonal magic, astrological insight, and witch wound work delivered to your inbox: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/weekly_staymagic_links?utm_campaign=Stay+Magic+Newsletter+2025&utm_source=PODCAST&utm_medium=PODCAST&utm_content=show+notes&utm_term=PODCAST🌙 Join the Enchanted Journey Membership - our cozy off-social community for women reclaiming their rhythm and their power: https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/enchantedjourney_2026?utm_campaign=EJ3+2026&utm_source=PODCAST&utm_medium=PODCAST&utm_content=PODCAST&utm_term=organicAbout the Stay Magic Podcast + YouTube ChannelThe Sisters Enchanted was founded in 2016 as a space for women to heal the witch wound, reclaim their power, and build a life anchored in seasonal living, practical magic, and sacred self-trust.
